The Honors Recommendation Process
Online Recommendation System Step by Step
1. Log in to the honors recommendation system.
Log in to the recommendation system using your UT EID and password. If you don’t know or forgot your UT EID or password, visit the UT EID help site. (You will be able to access the recommendation system after you have submitted—and we have received—your ApplyTexas Application for Admission.)
2. Select honors program(s) and enter contact information.
Select the honors program(s) to which you’re applying and enter the name and e-mail address of the individual who you would like to submit a recommendation. (You’ll be able to enter only one individual’s information. If you want to send a recommendation request to another individual, you’ll need to start over at step one of the online recommendation process and submit another recommendation request.)
3. The individual will receive an e-mail from UT Austin.
The e-mail will ask them to upload an online recommendation. Students can manage their recommendations online by logging into the Recommendation System.
If you have questions, please contact Allan Altamirano in the Office of Admissions at adaa@austin.utexas.edu.
